Lake Tahoe Waterman Association was born in 2010 with a passion from both Anik and Jay Wild for Paddling and Lake Tahoe. Founded by Elite Athletes, the initial premises was to get kids on the water enjoying human-powered paddle sports. Since our 501c3 Non-Profit Organization evolved with the mission to be a steward of the land and the lake, promote human-powered watercraft education and safety. We schedule ongoing beach clean-ups, routine maintenance of the natural landscape, and maintenance of the facility and grounds that are part of the California Tahoe Conservancy land at Patton Beach in Carnelian Bay, CA. Our organization is also home to Team Tahoe Waterman and Junior Waterman educational programs.
